Chapter 1416: Chapter 1416: Investigation Results Announced (Super Long Chapter, Request for Monthly Votes)
“I regret it now, really regret it.”
“I knew Colin was a cunning bastard, but I still believed his nonsense.”
“He manipulated , lured , made lose control, resulting in a huge mistake.”
“I am guilty, I confess.”
“But the mistake itself isn’t mine, it’s all Colin’s fault, you can still find him now. He’s at the Slorx Grand Canyon at the Kewort Group’s mining site. You can find him, he orchestrated all of this.”
“The Dark Lizard was his doing, he’s the mastermind behind it all.”
Bam—
A crisp sound echoed in the narrow interrogation room as sothing hit the table.
“Enough, Kailuo, do you think you’re so naive girl,” the bright light shone directly on the man’s ssy hair and blood-stained cheek, as a cold female voice followed, “just get to the point, how did you kidnap ‘Colin’?!”
“I didn’t kidnap him!” Kailuo quickly said upon hearing this, “it was Colin, Colin himself made kidnap him?!”
“He just lay there, motionless, wanting you to go over and tie him up?” The voice of the interrogator, who had their back to the cara, reverberated in the narrow hallway.
“Yes, yes,” hearing the question, Kailuo hesitated for a mont, eventually speaking softly, “he tricked , he said there was a bottle of Blood of the Venus in his office, that as long as he drank this Blood of the Venus, he’d lose all power and consciousness.”
He paused for a mont and continued, “I stole this bottle of Blood of the Venus, mixed it in his water, and made him drink it.”
Saying this, he quickly lifted his head and looked forward, “but he actually tricked ! You can bring him in and interrogate him! The Blood of the Venus he gave must be fake, he was just pretending to be weak the whole ti to trick into trusting him, to make do things for him…”
“Do what things?!” The interrogator suddenly raised their voice, asking coldly.
“Just, do, you all know…” Kailuo slightly opened his mouth, lowered his head, and said hoarsely.
“Kailuo, I need you to realize where you are, this is the Federation’s interrogation room, every word you say will appear in court, if you’re evasive here, it will only increase your cris,”
The interrogator raised their voice, picking up a docunt from the side, “also, we have a file on Colin, the CEO of Kewort Group, do you want to compare your statent with this file?”
“I’ve always been under his control and influence,” hearing this, Kailuo imdiately said, “you have to believe .”
“Okay,” the interrogator lowered their voice, continuing, “then tell , what did you do?!”
Hearing this question, Kailuo remained silent for a mont.
Then he looked up and saw the cara above the room, the entire interrogation room was unnaturally quiet.
Ti dripped like water from a thin pipe, drop by drop, striking the silent space.
Finally, before the interrogator could speak again, Kailuo opened his mouth and slowly said, “Driving the Dark Lizard to attack the city.”
After saying this, it was as if all the bones were drained from his body, and he went limp.
He looked ahead, hoarsely continuing, “For years, the Dark Lizard has been under the control of the Kewort Group,”
After he said that, his ntal defenses seed to completely collapse, and he spoke without any reservations, “Seven years ago, in the Slorx Grand Canyon where the Dark Lizard lives, Kewort Group discovered a massive rare earth mine,
“But the Dark Lizard living in the canyon was too dangerous, becoming the biggest obstacle in their mining plans.
“So they found a way to get so special prop, forcibly driving the Dark Lizard out of their habitat, leading to the Dark Lizard massacre in the wilderness seven years ago.”
He paused slightly in his speech.
“What kind of prop?” The interrogator asked.
“I don’t know what they got at the ti, it seems only a handful of people in the Kewort Group board know, even Colin doesn’t know.” Kailuo shook his head.
“How did you drive away the Dark Lizard then?” The interrogator continued to ask.
“It’s a special one-ti sonic machine,” Kailuo slowly began, “after driving the Dark Lizard away, so ti passed before they returned to the vicinity of Slorx Grand Canyon.
“During this ti, Kewort Group’s ‘research’ on the Dark Lizard also made so progress. They discovered a way to control the Dark Lizard – by playing a specific ultrasonic frequency sound through the speakers,
“Humans can’t hear this sound, but the Dark Lizard, with their developed auditory organs, can. The soundwave serves as a lullaby to the Dark Lizard, quickly putting them into a ‘sleep’ state.
“So they lured the Dark Lizard into a pre-set area, played the soundwave, and ‘hypnotized’ the Dark Lizard.
“During this hypnosis, they continued researching the Dark Lizard,”
Kailuo glanced at the interrogator ahead, paused, and then continued, “Colin told they developed a soundwave that also had a ‘driving’ effect on the Dark Lizard,
“But this ti, driving the Dark Lizard could lead to a high possibility of attacking Denno City and would cause all ‘speakers’ to overclock and beco completely destroyed.
He lowered his head again, “So they never tested this soundwave, and the chip storing the soundwave code was also locked in Colin’s office.”
“When you kidnapped Colin, did you also take this soundwave code chip?” The interrogator asked bluntly.
“No, I got it before the kidnapping,” Kailuo lifted his head, eting the eyes of the interrogator, then after a brief hesitation, spoke softly, “I did use a bit of trickery, but it wasn’t serious. It was definitely intentional from him, he was already plotting against at that ti.”
“The chip for opening the vault was obtained through these ‘tricks’ as well?” The interrogator said coldly.
“It was Colin,” Kailuo quickly said, “he pretended to be weak, lured to attack him, that’s how I used a bit of trickery to ‘get’ these things from him.”
“Do you still have the audio code chip with you?” The interrogator didn’t listen to his plea but imdiately asked instead.
“No,” Kailuo shook his head, “the chip and those speakers were together. According to Colin, at the mont the soundwave is released, the frenzied Dark Lizard will destroy everything around, that chip couldn’t possibly still exist.”
“By what you said, you didn’t see the soundwave release?” The interrogator quickly caught the hidden aning in his words and asked promptly.
“When the Dark Lizard gets stimulated, I can’t escape,” Kailuo said, “so I set a tir,”
As he said this, he suddenly realized sothing and quickly said, “There does seem to be a bit of discrepancy with the ti I planned versus the ti of the Dark Lizard’s riot. When I left, Colin was still in the canyon. It must have been him, he must have released the soundwave directly.”
“‘Seems’?” The interrogator glanced at him, gave a cold laugh, and quickly asked, “You let the Dark Lizard attack the city for the things in the Kewort Group’s vault.”
“Yes,” Kailuo lowered his head, “Colin told there was sothing in the vault that could grant wishes. The founder of the Kewort Group started it all with that thing.”
When saying this, his emotions suddenly turned violent, and he angrily tried to stand up, “But he tricked ! But he tricked ! The thing inside has already been taken away, it must have been taken by him!!! He tricked !”
Zzzhhhaaa—
Due to his violent struggle, electrical sparks burst out from the specially made chair, Kailuo shuddered and was forcibly cald down.
“According to what you said,” the interrogator calmly asked, “since Colin was left in the Slorx Grand Canyon by you, facing the Dark Lizard’s madness, does that an you actually wanted to use the Dark Lizard to kill him? Because you didn’t have the ability to kill him, your ans couldn’t hurt him.”
“No, no,” Kailuo quickly shook his head, “this must all have been Colin’s plan, he deliberately lured us into doing this, he definitely isn’t dead yet, go find him, you can find him, he’s the real mastermind.”
“Alright, since that’s the case,” the interrogator asked softly, “do you have faith in ‘K’?”
“‘K’?” Kailuo was slightly stunned, then realized who the interrogator was referring to, and imdiately said, “I don’t have faith in ‘K’, it’s Colin, he believes in ‘K’, no, that’s not right,”
At this mont, he seed to have figured everything out and quickly said, “Colin doesn’t believe in ‘K’, he hates ‘K’, he wanted to act like I had faith in ‘K’, then lure into making a mistake so he could fra ‘K’,”
His hand pressed onto the table, “That’s how it is, it must be like that, that’s his objective, that’s the reason he orchestrated all of this! I understand now, it must be like this! That dirty bastard!”
He raised his head and stared directly at the interrogator, “He and ‘K’ must have a grudge, a big ‘grudge.’ That’s his purpose.”
The interrogator did not respond to his words but changed the topic, “Alright, let’s talk about sothing else, like how you ‘kidnapped’ Colin…”
Kailuo hesitated for a mont, then finally began to answer, “I had already arranged people in the city from early on, prepared the Blood of the Venus obtained from Colin…”
This Q&A proceeded swiftly, with one sentence from each of them sketching out the general outlines of the entire case.
The kidnapping process was very simple. Kailuo pretended to travel with Colin, then used drugs to ‘knock out’ Colin and left Denno City with Colin hidden in the Kewort Group’s convoy.
After that, ca the instigation of the Dark Lizard’s city attack and Kailuo’s entry into the Kewort Group’s vault.
At the end of the entire Q&A session, Kailuo placed his hands on the table and seriously looked at the interrogator, once again emphasizing, “You must believe , actually all of this was Colin’s plan. He is the mastermind behind the scenes.”
“You have emphasized Colin so many tis,” at this mont, the interrogator shut the file suddenly and looked up at him, softly asking, “Are you sure Colin has already died in Slorx Grand Canyon, so you want to push all the bla on him? Is this your way to absolve yourself?”
“No,” Kailuo paused slightly and hurriedly denied it, “Of course not, that guy Colin, he’s an old fox. He definitely has a way to avoid the crazy Dark Lizard attack. He’s definitely still alive. Haven’t you been investigating him? Go catch him now, catch him and you’ll know everything.”
“So do you want Colin alive,” looking at his expression, the interrogator suddenly asked unexpectedly, “or do you want Colin dead?”
This question stunned Kailuo, rendering him unable to answer montarily.
“Alright, actually,” the interrogator started calmly, “Colin is already dead.”
She watched Kailuo’s eyes light up montarily with slight joy and continued, “But he died outside the city gate, killed by the people who protect this city.”
Kailuo’s face abruptly stiffened.
Soon afterward, the calm female voice rang out again, “You were right. You truly are a pawn.”
After saying this, the interrogator no longer looked at Kailuo and directly left the interrogation room.
The remaining Kailuo in the interrogation room blankly stared at the empty desk ahead, and the whole room once again fell silent at this mont.
Unusually quiet.
Kailuo seed to want to laugh; it truly matched the ‘confession’ he had been saying all along, yet he tried to curl his lips several tis but failed to do so successfully.
Eventually, his mouth corners drooped as he lay down on the table, bawling his eyes out.
······
“The above interrogation is the final segnt of materials we are live streaming today,” a young Federation Bureau agent stood in front of the cara, speaking with a touch of awkwardness, “All of today’s materials will be posted on the Federation Bureau’s official website for citizens to freely access.”
He looked at the cara, “Currently, we have basically determined that the Dark Lizard attack on the city incident was jointly participated in to a certain extent by Colin, Chief Executive Officer of Kewort Group’s Denno Division, and Kailuo, Minister of Kewort Group’s rare earth mineral enterprise group, causing severe harm to city safety.”
“In this process, through various interrogations and testimonies, so officers of the City Defense Army, certain mbers of the City Cabinet, as well as so active private organizations, were involved in this incident.”
“Currently, the Federation Bureau and City Police Bureau are carrying out ‘arrests’ and ‘inquiries’ regarding individuals with exact evidence, so there might be a bit more field agents and police officers out compared to usual.”
“If you encounter Federation Bureau agents and City Police Bureau officers on the street, do not worry, they might be busy protecting the city.”
“anwhile, we must especially thank Mr. Paxiu, the Federation Bureau’s special ‘witness,’ who played a significant role in the whole event, driving away the Dark Lizard and making outstanding contributions to protect Denno City.”
“This event is still under continuous investigation. The Federation Bureau has discovered so irrational, malicious rumors targeting ‘K’ and its believers online, please view this incident rationally, fellow citizens.”
······
The scene slowly switches on the television screen.
The people in the tavern bowed their heads.
“See that, dog—you bastard,” the burly man looked at the slender figure in front of him, with a sowhat smug gaze, “The Federation Bureau has already proven it, damn it’s a conspiracy by those bastards from the syndicate, stop spreading your rumors.”
“You foolish people.” The slender figure glanced at the people in front of him with his gaze turning cold, “Do you really think having numbers is powerful?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, pulling a handgun from his waist to aim at the burly man.
Several figures behind him reached into their arms and retrieved black handguns, aiming at the people in the tavern.
In an instant, the entire tavern fell silent.
“Damn.” The burly man reached his hand to his waist, grabbing nothing, realizing he wasn’t carrying a gun.
“Alright,” the slender figure looked at the frightened silent crowd in front of him, smiled, “Alright, now you can calm down.”
Bang—
Just as he finished speaking, the whole tavern let out a light sound, akin to the noise of a machine unfolding.
Before the tavern boss, a multi-barreled machine gun slowly erged from the liquor cabinet. The tavern boss looked at the slender figure, his hand directly gripping the gun’s trigger, “Now, do you want to calm down?”
The several figures behind the slender figure turned their sights, looking at the slender figure.
“What?” The slender figure holstered the gun, turned around, lifted his wristband, “Sothing from the gang? I said don’t co to with every little thing…”
While speaking, he headed towards the tavern’s exit.
The several figures behind him glanced at the black muzzled machine gun, lowered their handguns, and followed the slender figure.
The tavern boss did not fire, but still held the machine gun, aiming at the moving few individuals.
However, as they reached the door, the tavern door was pushed open from the outside.
Several Federation Bureau agents in uniform appeared outside the door.
They looked at the slender figure with a gun inside the tavern, slightly stunned.
The slender figure with his several companions looked at the Federation Bureau agents outside the door, also slightly stunned.
“There’s nothing, I’ll be right back.” After a brief hesitation, the slender figure tried to bypass the agents in front with his wristband.
“Wait a mont,” at this ti, the Federation Bureau agent in the lead pulled out a badge printed with an Olive Shield Badge, looking at the slender figure, “Federation Bureau, your gang is involved in the Dark Lizard’s city attack incident, you need to be questioned, co with us.”
The hand holding the wristband and his body froze in place.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Building · dical Room
Vigina carrying a bag stepped out of the elevator, looking at the young agent outside.
“Director!” Seeing her, the young agent imdiately raised his head, seemingly ready to say sothing.
“Has he woken up?” Vigina quickly asked, lifting her hand.
The young agent opened his mouth, seeming to want to say sothing but ultimately didn’t, instead replying softly, “I seem to have heard so sounds, he should be awake.”
“Good.” Vigina raised her head, looking forward to the door of the dical room, slowly walked over.
